70 Finals are coming
After the eighth episode, it became the only episode that Stary didn’t dare to watch with barrage, even though they took first place in this episode, a huge lead.
The challenge in this episode was also successful, and in the end it was the 24th Order that bid farewell to the stage. When they left, the girls did not cry, but were determined.
This program helped them see part of themselves more clearly, clarified their next goals, and gained them recognition and appreciation from more people, which far exceeded their expectations when they received the invitation.
When they left, Yuan Xiao also had a talk with the captain and agent of Twenty-Four Orders in the hotel conference room about some future cooperation and the sharing of the program's peripheral products.
During the broadcast of "Codename: Heart Dance Stage", the total number of viewers has reached 200 million times, and the peak number of online viewers for the live broadcast exceeded 20 million. Yuan Xiao has made two moves so far. One was "Idol Unnamed", which created the new generation of the hottest and strongest Stary, and the other was "Codename: Heart Dance Stage", which triggered a nationwide craze for chasing the group. His record is a complete victory.
The proportion of live-streaming advertising alone has brought Yuanxin tens of millions in revenue this quarter. Coupled with the support from the show’s broadcast for Stary’s business cooperation and physical album sales, the idol department’s revenue this quarter has officially surpassed the singer department, forming a three-way distribution within the company.
A version of the program's peripheral products was also launched exclusively on the Yuanxin mini program. Yuan Xiao had a sudden idea to arrange a deck of 54 playing cards using the lineups of the participating teams. The eight starting teams and the four challenge teams were each allocated a different number of cards. In addition to playing the ordinary game, they can also play as a melee among the internal entertainment teams.
This is purely Yuan Xiao's personal hobby. After all, the revenue from peripheral products is no longer the main source of income for Yuanxin and Stary. Most of the peripheral designs are handed over to a specially formed design team. Yuan Xiao is only responsible for the quality control of the final submission. She just wants to play these playing cards.
Before, when she was waiting for the progress of equipment debugging at the live broadcast venue, she and Gu Yuchen played a simplified version of male and female team poker. Because Teacher Gu himself was embarrassed to let his own team be invincible, Yuan Xiao won almost every round.
The profit income from the program's peripheral products is also nearly 10 million. These peripheral products use the image copyrights of the participating teams, so regardless of whether they are eliminated or not, the money will be settled to them after the program ends.
Yuanxin will have some resources for its own variety shows in the future. Yuan Xiao reached a preliminary agreement with Mo Shuanglan this time. Before leaving, Mo Shuanglan shook hands with Yuan Xiao, paused, and finally asked Yuan Xiao a question: "Do you know Shuangzhu? She is Yuanxin's new trainee..."
Yuan Xiao laughed: "I thought you wouldn't ask me today."
Shuanglan and Shuangzhu, one is the captain of a traditional Chinese style girl group, and the other is a producer of electronic traditional Chinese style music. One has to be very slow-witted to fail to realize that these two are sisters.
She could recognize every trainee in Yuan Xin, but in the eyes of outsiders, Yuan Xiao probably wouldn't ask about it in such detail. Mo Shuanglan never mentioned it because she didn't know how to start the conversation.
"Your sister's grades are good, but whether she can make it to the group in the end depends on her performance during the program recording." Yuan Xiao couldn't help but remind Mo Shuanglan, "Your family can also urge her to practice more. She is indeed a little..."
Su Chen, a trainee from the previous batch, had slightly poor physical fitness, but at least he was not as outstanding as other trainees of the same period. However, Mo Shuangzhu's physical fitness is a direct problem. If she can't overcome this weakness, Yuan Xiao will never let her debut no matter who her sister is, not even Yuan Xiao's own sister.
"Thank you for your care, Mr. Yuan." Yuanxin has always had a good reputation in the industry. After working together on this show, Mo Shuanglan could also feel what Yuan Xiao was like. It was undoubtedly a good choice for her sister to sign with Yuanxin.
Although she, like the other members, wants to do what she likes and doesn't care too much about whether it's popular or not, she still hopes that her younger sisters won't have the same hard time as them.
The recording of the program is nearing its end, and Stary's challenge journey is also about to end. Now it can be said that people all over the country are looking forward to whether they can win the championship of the first season of "Heart Dancing Stage". The posts in the forum group predicting the final champion and ranking of the program can reach thousands of floors in minutes. After the eighth episode, the originally modest and cautious fans dare to dream of the first place.
Why can’t Stary be the number one group in the domestic entertainment industry?
More people are calling on Yuanxin to keep the program "Codename: Heart Dancing Stage" and continue to do it year after year, making it China's own awards ceremony. This is fairer than those foreign awards. Whether it is the champion or the eliminated, they are all selected by real people.
But Yuan Xiao actually wants more. In the future, there may be solo idols on the Xinwu stage, and there will be more music of different styles. Maybe there will be tracks for adaptations and original works, and there will be many different competitions and different songs, so that the domestic entertainment industry will no longer lack a stage.
Also, as we said from the beginning, we will invite famous groups from foreign entertainment to exchange challenges, play exhibition games, and see the gap clearly, and more importantly, see clearly whether there is really a gap.
In the ninth episode, Stary sang the only slow song in the album without choreography, showing off his pure vocal skills. Jin Zeyu used his killer melodic rap for the first time on "Heart Dance Stage" and successfully won the third place in the episode with his extremely catchy and comfortable tune.
In the tenth episode, the five people once again challenged adaptation, this time it was a remix of the classic opera Carmen and a Chinese song. Su Chen's opera singing, Pei Zijin's piano solo and Yan Fan's flamenco piece on the glass piano once again drove the scene crazy. Not only did they win first place again, they also created the highest number of votes inside and outside the venue since the program started.
They should have been very happy with such good results, but the five of them were secretly a little regretful. So far, the best results they have achieved in "Heart Dancing Stage" have all come from adaptations. It should be said that this is due to the fame of the original songs, the original heart copyright library and the strength of Teacher Gu. However, the results of their own songs, except for a few main songs, were not very good.
There are some issues with the arrangement, but for Stary, it is still a pity that he did not get the first place with his own song.
"Now it depends on which one we sing first, 'Misplaced Lighthouse' or 'Dawn'." After the tenth episode, all of them took off their makeup and gathered in Captain Xiao Pei's hotel room. These two songs were reserved for the last two episodes, so theoretically either one could be used in the final.
Yuan Xiao has already gone to the airport to fly to Beijing. The concept of Stary's second album must be decided immediately after the show ends. After the concept is finalized, they will start preparing the songs for the second album. The five members of Stary can first attend music festivals and appear on several variety shows to consolidate the popularity of the first album, but the production of the second album must be put on the agenda first.
Yuan Xiao had already informed the five people of her requirements for the second album, which was to try to make it 50% original, and the remaining tracks would be the focus of her work during this period.
However, I didn't give the same explanation to Mr. Gu. Yuan Xiao still planned to squeeze out a whole album's worth of songs from our talented producer, so I told him that he still had to make an album of more than ten songs to support Stary.
It’s not a big problem. Songs that are not in the album can be released as singles. I’m going on tour in the future, so I can’t miss any songs.
For these musicians, DDL is the primary productive force, and anything can come out of it with a little effort.
Stary's current results are already very good. With their good popularity in the audience's mind, as long as they perform normally in the final, they can basically guarantee the top three. So Yuan Xiao was quite relieved. Before leaving, she only told them that after deciding what to sing in the eleventh episode, they could just send a message to her and Gu Yuchen.
At this time, the advantage of having an odd number in the team became apparent. Pei Zijin decided that we should make a democratic decision on whether to sing "Misplaced Lighthouse" or "Dawn" in the last episode by raising hands, and the result was two to three.
Jin Zeyu wanted to canvass votes for his No.1 album, "'Dawn' is indeed familiar to the audience and is widely sung, but the choreography of 'Dawn' is still the same as in our original show. Twenty-five people can dance it, but the five of us are still on 'Heart Dance Stage'. I'm worried that the audience will think we are playing a conservative card."
Yan Fan raised an eyebrow. The paint on his face for dancing had not yet been washed off. He looked very wild. "Then we can re-choreograph. What we are discussing now is the selection of songs. There is no such problem for "Misplaced Lighthouse". From now on, we have two weeks to re-choreograph."
Pei Zijin's opinions are somewhat different from those of the two. He also supports "Dawn", but he doesn't think they should choreograph a new one. He is very realistic: "'Dawn' is indeed our conservative card, but isn't the point of playing the conservative card because the fans and the audience are familiar with this song? If we change the choreography, the sentiment and memories will be gone."
Su Chen felt really uncomfortable watching the paint drying on his third brother's face. He couldn't help but get up and take out the makeup remover wipes from Pei Zijin's toiletries bag. While his brothers were arguing, he concentrated on wiping Yan Fan's face.
Yan Fan let him hold his chin and rub it against her face. Pei Zijin patted Su Chen on the shoulder and asked him, "What about you? Are you also from "Misplaced Lighthouse"? Why?"
"Yeah." Su Chen chose based on his intuition at the beginning. He only started to think carefully after the captain asked him. But he didn't stop moving. He applied a wet compress to Yan Fan for a while and wiped it clean carefully before he finished. "Brother Jin and I have similar ideas. It's not that "The Misplaced Lighthouse" is better, but "Dawn" will make us look like we really want to win. We are worried that we may leave an impression of trying too hard in front of the audience - but it may also be that I am overthinking. I can do both of them."
Both sides had good reasons. Yu Le felt that he was about to be convinced. He looked at this and that and suggested: "Why don't we ask Sister Xiaoxiao?"
He checked the time on his phone and reminded, "If you hurry up and ask her now, she probably hasn't taken off yet."
Pei Zijin thought about it and shook his head: "Sister Xiaoxiao can definitely think of all the things we can think of. The fact that she didn't make choices for us means that these are all minor problems."
"You decide. I'll do whatever you say." Jin Zeyu leaned back. "We'll ask Teacher Gu after we decide whether to make a new version of Dawn."
"Let's go with 'Dawn'." Pei Zijin looked at the four people's faces and made the final decision. "We started with 'Dawn', so let's use this song as the end of our first stage. No matter what place we get in the last round, we will try our best to come up with the most perfect version."
"Let's see if we can get first place. Even if we can't, we can just come back with a new album in the future. Maybe we can even win first place with our own original work."
"I'll send the arrangement to Sister Xiaoxiao and Teacher Gu in a moment. Fanfan, think about it tonight if 'Dawn Breaking' is re-choreographed, what kind of choreography would you like to create? We'll contact the choreographer to make adjustments later. Let's go to the practice room to choreograph 'Misplaced Lighthouse' tomorrow. The format of the last two finals seems to be different from the previous ones. We also need to try our best to get a high number of votes for 'Misplaced Lighthouse'."
"That's it, all right, go back to sleep."
